The wind carries a name I've heard before
A hero who promised but couldn't restore
The weight of the world pressed into my skin
A battle I'm losing a war I can't win
I was meant to save the day
But time has stolen me away
The stars don't guide me anymore
Just a fading hero nothing more
The streets are quiet the clocks don't chime
Each breath I take feels out of time
The machines have risen the dream has died
And I'm still here just trying to survive
I was meant to save the day
But hope has slowly slipped away
A distant voice a closing door
I'm a fading hero nothing more
Every child dreams of glory
But the years rewrite the story
The capes fray the colors fade
We're left with all the plans we've betrayed
I was meant to save the day
But life got in the way
No victory no final score
Just a fading hero nothing more
Now the light is low the fight is done
The hero I was is overrun
The machines still hum their endless chore
And I am nothing nothing more
